IS THIS TRUE?

A visibly perturbed President Obama demanded that the Somali pirates who overtook the ship that held 20 American sailors be allowed to regain control of the ship. Mr. Obama said, "We are in a new era of diplomacy. Unilateral actions to take matters into our own hands only divide the world, not bring it together. We need to place the pirates back in control of the seized vessel so that we can negotiate a fair and reasonable solution to this crisis." President Obama further stated that he will contact the families of the pirates thrown overboard to personally apologize for the arrogant actions of the Americans on board.
He further vowed to offer asylum to the pirates once the negotiations were completed, and offer them citizenship in the United States, with full medical coverage, and in-state tuition wherever they chose to live.
Obama finished his statement with the following: "This is the new diplomacy that I was talking about in my recent trip to Europe. This is how I intend to make the world a less dangerous place."NOT GOOD WHEN SATIRE IS INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM REALITY! At first read, after Obama's statements on his recent trip, you probably stopped and wondered if Obama really said this. Instead of thinking this would be impossible for a President of the USA, when Americans are in danger.MEANWHILE....THIS IS TRUE NEWS AND INSANE! AND A GOOD WINDOW INTO THIS ADMINISTRATION'S CHOICE OF SUPPORT STAFF.The president's new science adviser said Wednesday that global warming is so dire, the Obama administration is discussing radical technologies to cool Earth's air.
John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month that the idea of geoengineering the climate is being discussed.
One such extreme option includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays. Holdren said such an experimental measure would only be used as a last resort.
"It's got to be looked at," he said. "We don't have the luxury of taking any approach off the table."
